 When ERIC ROBERSON released the album LEFT in 2007 I wonder if he had any idea just what an instant impact it would have with soul fans the world over certainly it went down a storm and it was clear that ERIC ROBERSON was a force to be reckoned with. All this from a man who in this modern day of music is a pensioner to most yet one listen to that album and it won’t matter what age you are. Their are some killer songs on the set that has left this dude begging for more. So when news reached me that a new album was on the way, I got a little excited shall we say. ERIC ROBERSON is another one of that musical genius, just listen to the wonderful COULDN’T HEAR HER from his last album LEFT and you will see what I mean. When you hear music like this you know soul music is alive and kicking the roof off. One can only hope that the new material can all but live up to the high standard of the last set, because it’s a very high standard indeed ,but a man of his immense talents should be able to give us a musical treat again. After all he is not new to the game and has earned his stripes and paid his dues .Hopefully the new album should go a long way to establishing ERIC ROBERSON as a quality act. His first release was 1994 called THE MOON he would later sign to EMI and work with the likes of JILL SCOTT, MUSIQ SOULCHILD and D J Jazzy Jeff, whilst releasing his own music via his BLUEERRO SOUL IMPRINT. The new album is called MUSIC FAN FIRST and is released AUGUST 15^TH 2009. The album will feature soul divas LALAH HATHAWAY and WAYNA sounding good already .Through his publishing deal with EMI Music, Roberson has had his songs covered by Dwele, Musiq, Vivian Green and Will Downing. Like many of his indie peers, he also operates his own recording studio.
Reached through a mailing list that numbers in the thousands, Roberson's ERF (Eric Roberson Family) Web devotees are known to travel substantial distances to see him in concert. At his Little Temple Bar show, a female fan came in from Chicago. Another drove from South Carolina to attend a D.C. show.

"I pretty much stay on the road doing between eight and 11 shows a month," says Roberson. "You do the best show you can, and then you stay out there, sign CDs, hug everyone you can and thank them."
